Hello Jamser, We are sorry about that, but the JPEG file format doesn't support duotones. you can only save it in (PSD,PSB,EPS,PDF,RAW) formats. If you still want it in JPEG format, Use the Save for web command by click on (Ctrl/Command + Shift + Alt + S) and Photoshop will convert it to sRGB and JPEG format as you wish. Enjoy Photoshoping. ... View more

Correct the user must use the correct action the user need to know or retrieve the document resolution and play the correct action. The actions are recorded for a specfic  resolution and size document.  If the user the wrong action the results are not what the user wants.   To add thing like a text layers the text need to be set to a proper size for the text to fit.   The number of characters on a line  need to fit within the document width for example.  So both resolution and size is important. I wrote a script that enable an action creator to run to save the resolution of a document so they can scale a document to  a known width like 8"  without resampling it, select a font size for the text to be add so it will fit within 8" add then run the script a second time to have the document restored to its original resolution.   Document size is very hard to deal with in actions.

I've solved this by using the ExtendScript toolkit CS6 with this code: #target photoshop //alert("Hello Photoshop!"); //app.activeDocument.activeLayer.opacity = 50; var randomString = function(length) {     var text = "";     var possible = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";     for(var i = 0; i < length; i++) {         text += possible.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * possible.length));     }     return text; } var rs  = randomString(7); function main(){  if(!documents.length) return;  //var Name = app.activeDocument.name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');   var saveFile = File("c:"+ "/test/img/woman/" + rs + ".jpg");  if(saveFile.exists){     if(!confirm("Overwrite existing document?")) return;      saveFile.remove();      }  SaveForWeb(saveFile,100); //change to 60 for 60%  }  main();  function SaveForWeb(saveFile,jpegQuality) {  var sfwOptions = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();      sfwOptions.format = SaveDocumentType.JPEG;      sfwOptions.includeProfile = false;      sfwOptions.interlaced = 0;      sfwOptions.optimized = true;      sfwOptions.quality = jpegQuality; //0-100   activeDocument.exportDocument(saveFile, ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, sfwOptions);  } and included this script into my actions. ...

D. Fosse (or anyone) I do know the profile -- Japan Color 2001 Coated. "Fiddling with sliders in CMYK, without thoroughly knowing what you're doing, is a disaster waiting to happen. For one thing, you can very easily exceed total ink limit, resulting in smearing and drying problems." Yes, I don't know what I'm doing thoroughly, that's for sure. But I have a monitor calibrator.  Is knowing the correct profile plus a monitor calibrator enough to adjust/use the sliders by sight and know that I won't exceed the total ink limit? It's too late to go back and do RGB everything -- but I'll know now for the future. ... View more

lol, i've never used the button mode before. Looks dangerous. Clicking on anything accidentally runs an action. I can't think of any reason to ever use button mode - not as a guy who makes actions, nor as a guy who makes actions for other people to use. I would never want to use that mode for myself and I would never recommend it for someone who doesn't know how to use actions well. I don't understand why the colors are turned off in regular mode though. Seems like someone had to actually make extra effort to make the code work in a less useful way. What a strange thing to do. ... View more

There are other ways, and perhaps a more valuable skill to learn.  This method uses a Layer Mask and they are fundermental to using Layers in Photoshop. The Pink layer is still above the Elephant layer in the layers panel. Ctrl click the Elephant layer which will load it as a selection. Now select the Pink layer and click on the layer mask icon (highlighted in Red). This will add a layer mask to the pink layer with the shape of the elephant in white, and the rest of the mask in black.  We say Black Conceals and White Reveals.  Where the layer mask is white it shows the content of the layer.  Where it is black it shows the layers beneath it in the layer stack. You should perhaps have a play to get used to them.  Can you see how the layer masks are showing segments of all three layers? Note that there is a double outline around the green layer's layer mask.  That shows that anything you paint will go on the mask. In this shot the double outline is around the layer's thumbnail, and my brush stroke is on top of the green. ... View more

FWIW - I have less than half that RAM on my work computer (admittedly similar to you/slightly better specs for a laptop on my home rig) and I have had very few times or none that were directly traceable back to illustrator being the culprit...So this is why I have been puzzled as to why you get these problems... What version of Illy CC 2017 do you have? What apps do you have running whilst using Illustrator? What are the dimensions of the illustrative work? How many illustrations do you have open at one time? Do you keep lots of cached stuff in the background? What anti virus etc do you use? Where are you saving your files? On the SSD or on a Network? Does Illy have Admin privileges? Also what do you mean about "buggy pen tool" is this a reference to using a drawing tablet such as Wacom? or reference to the actual Pen/Path tool? Best, EW ...
